Fillable worksheets, playbooks and guides for hardware founders. Download what you need, use it with your team, and bring a clearer brief when you are ready to build.
Tools you can use before you hire a studio.
These resources come from BrahmWorks work across consumer electronics, EV, medical, agriculture, IoT and special-purpose machines. New tools will land here as we publish them.
Founder toolkit
Essential worksheets for hardware founders. Fill them in, print them, or bring a completed MVP scope when you pitch your idea. Designed for consumer electronics, EV, medical, agriculture, IoT and special-purpose machines.
Hardware Founder Playbook
Market validation, buyer discovery, hardware MVP scope, and a pitch outline — one fillable playbook.
Hardware MVP Scope
One page. Write the job, the decision, what is in, what is out, and what you will not fake.
Buyer Persona
Who uses the device, in which room or site, and what they struggle with today.
Pitch Outline
Problem, solution, why hardware, model, GTM, competition, and the ask.
Product Anatomy
Nine stages from kickoff to launch — vision, research, design, prototype, DFM, and go-to-market.
Build & Manufacturing Tools
Fillable worksheets for the stretch from first prototype to production: brief, cost, design for manufacture, testing, certification and handoff.
Product Brief Template
The brief to send before you ask for a quote: problem, user, constraints, volumes, cost target, and what already exists.
BOM Cost Estimator
Cost your bill of materials at 100, 1k and 10k units, with NRE, tooling and landed-cost adders. PDF plus spreadsheet.
DFM / DFA Checklist
A pre-tooling review by process: sheet metal, moulding, machining, PCBA, harness, assembly, test and packaging.
Prototype Test Plan
Plan each build around one question, with a test matrix, pass/fail criteria, an issues log and a proceed, iterate or stop decision.
Certification Roadmap
List the certifications and tests that commonly apply in India, the EU and the US, then plan labs, quotes and lead times. Not legal advice.
Supplier & CM Handoff Pack
What a supplier or contract manufacturer needs: data pack, firmware, test specs, quality plan, commercial terms, ECO process and sign-off.
